Poor Dwight was so distraught over Angela that he stopped shaving. I applaud his continued efforts to win her back with his paper-selling prowess. While he tried to outsell the website, PB&J were back to their old prank-playing selves as they pretended to be the website and taunted Dwight with IMs. (One of my favorite lines of the night came from Dwight in response to the documentary crew: ''It appears that the website has become alive, as happens to computers and robots sometimes.'' I flashed back to last season and a vague memory of Dwight's suggestion to Michael that they make a robot but that they'd have to restrain it with a chain.) Anyway, after Dwight beat the website in paper sales, and Angela refused to be impressed, I half expected Pam to IM the dejected Dwight with some advice on how to win Angela back (from a girl's perspective). But she didn't. Still, I'm happy to see that PB&J can still have some fun.
And speaking of good times, we got a smile out of Stanley this week, I think. At the very least it was a grin as he boogied for a brief moment to the sounds of the new Dunder-Mifflinfinity website. Phyllis noticed, too, which sadly led Stanley to quash his groove. Props to Phyllis for standing up to Angela's insults. And Kevin continued to make me laugh, as did Oscar and Stanley, as they tried to figure out the penalties for their role in the kidnapping of the pizza delivery guy. This story line dragged a little, but it allowed Dwight to blow off some steam by unleashing his inner interrogator, and it helped Michael come to terms with his anger at Ryan (and his lack of ''respect, accountability, and follow-through'' after he so rudely didn't invite Michael to the big New York shindig). Both Dwight and Michael got to bond and regroup afterward with some real ''New York-style'' sushi in the parking lot of the Dunder-Mifflinfinity launch (where Michael even got congratulated for schooling Ryan during his branch satellite introduction, leaving our faith intact that he — at least sometimes — knows what he's talking about).
So what do you think? Who's going to couple up next? How long before Ryan is demoted or fired? Where was Toby? And what moments did you want to rewind?
